2. should the buffs come in 2-0, 1-1 or 0-2, a win here would be huge for Hawk and the program.

3. first true home game of the year. 8 p.m. on ESPN! are you kidding me! the student section should be in full force! especially if the buffs can manage to come in 2-0 or 1-1 with a close game vs ASU.

4. 2nd to last weekend in sept tailgating in boulder? just can not be beat. generally. we all know its colorado. just as it could be 99 degrees it could be 34 and two feet of snow. im betting on mid 80's during the day. :thumbsup:

Gotta be FSU. I think that game is setting up to be the "statement" game that Hawk needs to put CU back in the national spotlight. A win, over a big name program like FSU, at night, packed house, on ESPN. Looking forward to it!

That would really be sweet - this years home schedule is very attractive - OU, Missouri, NU. All of these games should be sellouts.

I picked NU. I know that it is a 10 AM start, but I look for that game to be for the North Championship (I know, it is the summer and I still have the gold colored glasses on!). That is the game I most look forward to every year it is in Boulder. Hawk will have the team humming by then and we will be ready to take it to the Corn.

The question is, what will they be humming on? The 'skers nuts I hope.

More likely they will be kicking them in the nuts! We will see, it should be an intersting season. Lots of questions but something tells me that the NU game will be meaningful this year. I may be one year to early, but we shall see.

FSU!
This is the kind of opponent that separates CU from some of its "esteemed" conference partners. While others play "Pansy State" (see Texas Tech's sched) most or all of their non-conference games the Buffs schedule true premiere programs most every year. This is just more evidence of a long tradition of bringing great games to Boulder. If the Buffs can handle what is always a great defense they have a chance against FSU. Should be fun to watch, not to mention the great exposure. A win would be giant in recruiting.
